Drivers are being advised of temporary road closures on sections of Queens Drive to allow essential highway improvement works to take place.
The closures are needed to allow for preventative treatment and road marking works to be carried out at several locations along the route.
The following sections of Queens Drive will be affected:
- Heywood Road to East Prescot Road (northbound only)
- Alder Road to Mill Lane (northbound only)
- Townsend Avenue to Utting Avenue (both directions)
- Stanley Park Avenue North to Walton Hall Avenue (both directions)
Road closures will be in place on:
- Monday 3 August
- Monday 10 August
- Tuesday 11 August to Friday 14 August
The closures are necessary to allow contractors full access to the carriageway so that the works can be carried out safely and efficiently. Surface dressing helps protect the road surface from wear and tear, extending its lifespan and reducing the need for more extensive maintenance in the future.
The preventative treatment can only be carried out during the day time on the 3 and 10 August due to the materials involved.
The road marking works scheduled between 11 and 14 August will be carried out overnight to minimise the amount of disruption on this key route.
Residents living near the affected sections of road are advised that every effort will be made to minimise disruption, including ensuring machinery is switched off when not in use. Pedestrian access will be maintained wherever possible.
Drivers are encouraged to follow signed diversion routes or use alternative routes during the closures.
An excess of loose aggregate will be present on the road for a period after completion, which is normal for this process and will be removed by a suction sweeper when necessary. Please drive slowly and observe all temporary signs that will have been left in place. The road will be swept to remove the surplus aggregate within 48 hours of installation, and again within seven days.
Liverpool City Council would like to thank residents and road users for their patience while these essential improvements are carried out.
